Relinking or adding Audio to clips

[John Fishback]

Sometimes FCP will find other clips in the same folder when you reconnect the first clip. Other times you have to do each separately. Were the audio clips merged with the video or separate?

The footage was captured with Video and Audio, all the clips and master clips are connected in Final Cut Pro.

The issue is the previews Editor unlinked all the Audio with the Video in the Timeline and delete the Audio from the timeline.
But I need the Audio back in the Timeline with its corresponding Video.

The good news is you should be able to match frame each clip in the timeline and re-attach the audio. The bad news is it’s one-at-a-time. It’s possible you could use Automator to speed this up, but I can’t tell you how to do that. However, there’s a COW tutorial about Automator.
